My husband and I got a new Xbox and transferred all our games to it. His profile is the Xbox live account, my profile is just a local profile used for games like Skyrim. I've never had a problem with this before. Today, when I went to play my character for the first time on the new Xbox, it gave me an error message that my save game file contains add-ons that aren't available. On the game load screen, I went down to add-ons and sure in enough it said no add-ons installed.
I switched to my husbands live account and re-downloaded the add-ons. (We have all expansions packs) I signed onto Skyrim with his profile, clicked on add-ons on the load screen, and saw all 3 expansions. I switched over to my profile, no-add ons found. I even exited skyrim, still on my account, went to xbox settings for skyrim and saw all 3 expansion packs downloaded. Yet I can't play them when I open my account.
What the frak. Help?

You need to transfer the licences over for the DLC, but unfortunately I've forgotten how to do that...

Here you go: Transfer Content Licenses Between Consoles.
I'm also going to move this to Tech Desk since this is more of a technical question.

You also want to invest in the extra memory that costs over $100 bucks and if you havn't already use the wire for transfer saves or just start anew. I don't like how the new xbox has a different system set up than the old one as you cant use the old style hardrives or memory cards.
